NICE!

Did your clutch just miraculously return to normal after you started it up??? i just find it hard to believe, that you blame your spin due to the clutch going to the floor? ???

As much as i would like to call Raydeo a flaming retard for blaming his clutch, i will be on his side for this.

I actually had that problem when pushing my car as well, the clutch peddle didn't release fully and was mighty un nerving, it still worked sweet as but felt awfull odd.

Hey come on he has to have some excuse, driver error is no fun to admit haha I had a clutch issue at one point with the pedal not fully returning, not sure if this is similar to Rays problem. Give him credit though he was out there doing it instead of talking about it, and he got a bloody good result considering it was his first event.

Yeah I've had a similar issue also a few times now, but was able to prop it back up with my foot.. Was weird, and definitely if u don't expect it can take ur eyes off the road..... equalling u could be possibly having a bad day very quickly.

U only ever do that mistake once lol as I've found.

Once i relised what had happened i gave the thing a kick and it came back up, but by the time I'd done that I was on the corner and ****ed...

looking back, its all to easy to say if only id kept the power on or if only id... blah blah blah...

end of the day i put it onto the barrier. woop woop go me, i fixed it and she lives to race another day...

yeah its surprising how little a distraction you need for things to go wrong on the track

on the last run at a teretonga trackday i glimpsed a waved red flag, turned my head to double check then found the car had let go and was now sideways in a corner i'd been hammering all day long

gave me a hell of a fright to find my favourite corner was now trying to throw me off track :-\

any idea what causes this clutch issue?

[Johnnynz]

Sounds similar to an issue I had once, popped the clutch back up with my foot and never had it again.

It was like the clutch was there but super short for a minute, very worrying.

I fixed mine with a bit of adjustment, It was sticking in the half depressed position. It didnt affect the operation of the clutch at all but was a pain.

yea mine was a split Hydrolic hose , leeked for year before I got sick of topping up and pulling clutch pedal off the ground (also ultra-short clutch 'throw')

Same with mine, just a little adjustment and was all good again.
